1232 THE INSECTS OF THE VICINITY OF KINg’s SOUND, 
of the width of the thorax and thrice the length with an 
oVdique obtuse ridge from the shoulders to the middle, and with 
a large depression on each elytron at the base containing two 
round fovese of a silvery pubescence, three others in a line from 
the inner of these basal fovese at about ecpial distances apart and 
near the sutui-e, and two others on the posterior half and near 
the sides, the hinder of these two of a transverse shape. The 
under sui*face is finely punctate, a faint silvery spot on the side 
of each abdominal section. 
Long. lat. I 5 lines. 
198. CissEis APiCALis, n.sp. 
Oblong, narrow, of a golden copper colour on the head, thorax, 
scutellum and basal half of the elytra, cyaneous on the apical 
half, and of a brilliant metallic green beneath, very densely, 
minutely, and sharply punctate, and transversely rugose on the 
entire upper surface. 
Long. 3, lat. 1 line. 
This species seem to be subject to considerable variety in 
colouring ; the cyaneous apical half of the elytra is sometimes 
interrupted with golden markings, and sometimes a blue spot is 
traceable in the middle of the basal half, in this resembling C. 
cruciata, Fab., a species like it also in other respects, but differing 
in the coarser puncturation, broader form, and more pointed 
elytra.
